Usually cattle will begin to develop an udder about 5 months into term (or sooner depending on the animal). However, a couple days before the parturition, you can notice the udder filling up more as the milk drops into the milk canal and the teats. This is a sign that she is going to freshen.
What else can I help you with?
At what stage does the udder form?
Are you meaning fetal development, or in a heifer? In the heifer, the udder starts to form as her unborn-calf develops, although this development can vary dramatically from heifer to heifer. Some fully bag-up (are full of milk) weeks before the calf is born; some do not get a full udder right before or right after the birth. The breed of cow also influences the size and development of the udder. Udder development continues during lactation. The udder stretching by being full of milk, and the calf nursing on the teats, helps to increase the size of the udder in the young cow. By the second birth, the udder will often be larger and really show the cow (goat, sheep's) potential as a milk-producer.
What trait would a dairy farmer choose when selecting cows to breed?

Do cows only have udders after giving birth?
Not exactly. A cow, when she is a heifer, starts developing mammary tissue a few weeks before having her first calf (where she is actually called a first-calf heifer not a cow), and retains that udder throughout her life. A cow doesn't just all of a sudden not have an udder before giving birth or suddenly have an udder after giving birth--it doesn't work like that. Once she has an udder, she keeps that udder until she dies. Besides, a cow is a female mature bovine that has already had one or two calves and thus already has an udder. A heifer, on the other hand, is a female bovine that doesn't have a fully developed udder, not until she is close to calving (if she's been bred at the right time).
How big does a cow's udder get?
A cow's udder can get to where they are able to produce 50 gallons per day. Holsteins are the top dairy breed that is known to produce a lot of milk. A cow's udder that is full can get to be around 18 to 24 inches in diameter.

Generally, udder treatments are done using a teat cannula...the medication is infused into the affected quadrant(s) of the udder by sliding the cannula into the udder through the openings where milk would normally pass out during the suckling process and the medication would be pushed into the udder via syringe.
